Which parts of the car are made out of copper?
The car engine radiator.
What is a car radiator made of?
most car radiators are copper or aluminum and plastic.
What is car radiator made out of?
Older vehicles had copper and steel radiators, newer vehicles are made of aluminum and plastic.
What material is used to make a car radiator?
They used to be copper and steel but now they are made of aluminum and plastic.
Why car radiator are made of platinum?
They aren't. Older ones are made of copper, now it's aluminum. Platinum is used in the catalyctic converter.
Why is a car radiator made of aluminum?
The purpose of a radiator is to transfer heat from the engine to the atmosphere, so radiators need to be made of a material with a high heat transfer coefficient. Aluminum has a high heat transfer coefficient. In other words, aluminum conducts heat very well. There are other materials, such as copper, which conduct even better, but aluminum is more economical to use than copper.
Why does a car engine need a radiator?
To keep the car engine from over heating
What does a radiator do in a car?
A radiator cools the water that flows around the engine.
What part of the car cools the engine?
The radiator cools the engine.
What does a car radiator do?
Radiator stores engine coolant for circulation throughout the engine The radiator is placed at the front of the engine and exposed to the atmosphere to keep coolant cool to maintain proper engine temperature
What is the purpose of water in a car's radiator?
The radiator cools the water which then goes to your engine to cool it off, as cool water enters your engine hot water from the engine enters your radiator
Why are car radiators made of metal?
The entire purpose of an automotive radiator is to move heat away from the engine. To move heat you must have a substance that can conduct heat rapidly and effectively. Substances such as plastics are poor heat conductors on the other hand metals at large are great heat conductors especially copper and aluminum. (that is also why you see many cooking pots and pans made out of copper and aluminum) Older radiators were made almost entirely of copper, they were very effective and relatively cheap at the time, now-days they are almost always made of aluminum because copper has become very cost prohibitive and aluminum is of course lighter.
